canary glass
n.— «Vaseline glass wasn’t termed as such until 1950 when it had already become a collectible. Prior to that, it was called canary glass or uranium glass, but collectors didn’t think these terms correctly identified it. It was in the 1950s that a collector noted its color was similar to the petroleum jelly of the time and called it Vaseline glass.» —“Glow-in-the-dark glass a lure for night-loving collectors” by Jean McClelland Herald-Dispatch (Huntington, W.V.)
